Will stay there again

Customer Service was fantastic from start to finish. Breakfast was delicious. Room was a little cold, but when we mentioned it, they revolved straight away. Restaurant was closed, due to lack of staff, but plenty of local options The room was OK,but headboard was solid and hurts wgen you head but it.

Room was clean, staff very good, food was great, only issue was I choose a hotel with on site disabled parking and there was none, managed to park on road but at busier times it wound be a struggle, also the lift could only be used by one person at a time and the lift was incredibly slow, the description on your site needs updating with regards to parking, but we had a very enjoyable experience.

Single Room

Fairly pleased with the room. Only a one night stay and did not opt for breakfast. The room seemed clean and all the essentials worked well. This is all in the context of the hotel being a budget option in the area. Satisfactory, the main downside was the maze of corridors to reach the room.

We were in a small room also the only day light we had was from a small window with frosted glass, you had to have a light on all of the time , right out side the window was a large pipe extracter fan ? Which that went off a couple of times during the night , which was noisy, waking us up, we never complained as the hotel was busy with coaches. The room got very warm . We ate in the dining couple of times that was very good , plenty of choice. Overall apart from the room and always having to go to reception for everything, from towels to loo roll. The lift was not working, so it was a struggle with cases , up two flights of stairs.
